<h2>Description</h2>

<p>

<code class="function">glBindTransformFeedback</code> binds the transform feedback object with name <em class="parameter"><code>id</code></em> to the current

GL state. <em class="parameter"><code>id</code></em> must be a name previously returned from a call to

<a class="citerefentry" href="glGenTransformFeedbacks"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glGenTransformFeedbacks</span></span></a>. If <em class="parameter"><code>id</code></em> has not

previously been bound, a new transform feedback object with name <em class="parameter"><code>id</code></em> and initialized with with the

default transform state vector is created.

</p>

<p>

In the initial state, a default transform feedback object is bound and treated as

a transform feedback object with a name of zero. If the name zero is subsequently bound, the default

transform feedback object is again bound to the GL state.

</p>

<p>

While a transform feedback buffer object is bound, GL operations on the target

to which it is bound affect the bound transform feedback object, and queries of the

target to which a transform feedback object is bound return state from the bound

object. When buffer objects are bound for transform feedback, they are attached to

the currently bound transform feedback object. Buffer objects are used for trans-

form feedback only if they are attached to the currently bound transform feedback

object.

<h2>Errors</h2>

<p>

<code class="constant">GL_INVALID_ENUM</code> is generated if <em class="parameter"><code>target</code></em> is not <code class="constant">GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK</code>.

</p>

<p>

<code class="constant">GL_INVALID_OPERATION</code> is generated if the transform feedback operation is

active on the currently bound transform feedback object, and that operation is not paused.

</p>

<p>

<code class="constant">GL_INVALID_OPERATION</code> is generated if <em class="parameter"><code>id</code></em> is not

zero or the name of a transform feedback object returned from a previous call to

<a class="citerefentry" href="glGenTransformFeedbacks"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glGenTransformFeedbacks</span></span></a>, or
